Charming place where to find books, wine, music, exhibitions and talks. My favourite bit is the lovely little backyard.

To really reach/understand a city you must live there or, at least, acting like you do. Nothing makes you feel more like a Milanese D.O.C. than stopping by Frida's on a Sunday morning to buy some flowers. Located in Brera this tiny shop has an extraordinary colour palette of flowers and plants. After that we just take a walk in the neighbourhood holding our bunch of Brassica Oleracea and our day is made.

Craving proper Milanese food? Risoelatte is the answer to your prayers. Set in a cozy, 60's inspired location (complete with an original and working jukebox), Risoelatte is the perfect answer to the eternal 'what to do for Sunday lunch' questions.
